The ex Danzig man gets even meaner and moodier on his debut juggernaut. The title cut full of menace, hints of White Zombie whilst the twisted riff of 'Tell Me Why' reeks of early Danzig. In fact much of what's on offer has a Danzig feel although Christ is more wholesome, a straight, dark metal approach and those whispered, hushed yet demonic tones bleeding in to those infectious choruses. The most important aspect of the album is Christ's ability to tell a Gothic story, and then there's the rattling drums of 'I'm Gone' and meaty chug of 'Slow Down'. 'Flesh...' is a stormy album from a talented guy, and proof that there's life after Danzig. This is the spirit of true metal.
7/10
